[QUOTE=Jacaranda]Which is basically what he just said there...[/QUOTE]
I got banned for saying that the thread didn't belong. My example was what got me banned. That's why I said it.

I think it's still unecessary even if you are the first person posting. Reporting is enough.

Yeah, but if the person doesn't know, you're helping them. Guys, it doesn't really matter if you're helping them, that's being kind, it's not spam.

Well they will find out for themselves when the thread is locked.

I'll allow the first post that is a helpful one to go unscathed. But thirty "Illegal thread" posts are not needed.

I'll just report it instead of posting. It's the more safe decision, hehe.

I agree. It only takes one person to help the thread starter go in the right direction.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]Well they will find out for themselves when the thread is locked.[/QUOTE]
No, they'll proably make the same thread with the first post being something along the lines of "i dont know why the other thread was deleted so i made another!!!!!"

I thought that round of bans were utterly idiotic. IMO.

I agree you can't have 25 people just posting the same line. "The Threads illegal man, read the rules next time, welcome to MX"

It just seems there are much more ban worthy actions than people trying to help out a n00b.

I mean. Plexi is a cool guy but his spam is more "ban worthy" than a vet trying to help someone.

In the end it's the Mod's call to make and we obviously need to accept the rules or not post.

Well spam posts like '123' and single smileys are against the rules, and that's essentially what's happening after the first person helps the threadstarter.

It was only for a day anyway.

Okay. That's more reasonable. I thought it was longer for some reason.


I think it's if over enforced then it's pure idiocy. If there are 25 people adding to their post count than I say 1-3 day ban.

Dumb thread, should be closed.

what? why?

[QUOTE=repcak]what? why?[/QUOTE]

A bunch of us got banned for posting in a dumb n00b thread, but it was ok. I don't think he got banned again... we're all back now but I'm pretty sure he didn't get it again.

hehe... funny story.

I'm sure he's un banned by now.

Umm. He also has to count all those pages of votes.

I think so too, but I haven't seen him on since his ban.

Hey Riva I honestly think Freezing Moon need a warning. That post in the BM thread was very uncalled for.

I have warned them.

[QUOTE=Riva]I have warned them.[/QUOTE]
ok thanks.

We already have a Bob Dylan Thread.

Sorry to say this but debate/flaming is inevitable in the BM thread...

I'm not talking debate about Black Metal, or flaming about non-black metal bands being labelled as black metal. I'm talking about the incessant rants by everyone about religion.

:o

Sorry 'bout that but I just think it's kinda an oxymoron, I'll try not to hit religion though in the future...

How is it an oxymoron?

Black metal is first and foremost about misanthropy, about hating everyone. Henceforth we can discuss it's musical aspects and the lyrics without getting dragged into another 6 page long religious debate.
